Hold on to your hats until the weekend. The National Weather Service is predicting windy conditions through Friday afternoon.

Today may see the worst of it, with northerly winds between 15 and 25 mph, gusting up to 30 mph passing through northeast Colorado in the afternoon. High pressure will also stay in the region until tonight, bringing a high near 80 and a low around 43. Skies will be mostly sunny.

The wind, mixed with low humidity, will also elevate the fire danger this afternoon, though hazardous weather isn’t expected.

Other than the wind, temperatures will bounce between the low 70s and the low 80s through the week and bring nothing but sunny skies.

Thursday will warm up slightly, with partly cloudy skies and a high of 83, but winds will turn southwest and decrease to between 7 and 15 mph during the day, gusting up to 23 mph. Winds will calm down further during the evening to between 6 and 11 mph, gusting up to 17 mph. The low will be around 47.

Friday will be sunny, with a similar breeze, but temperatures will drop to a mellow high of 75 and a low around 45. A north wind will blow between 8 and 15 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph.

Temperatures will continue to decrease on Saturday, with a high near 72 and a low around 40, before jumping back up from Sunday to Tuesday. Conditions will be sunny.

Sunday will be sunny, but temperatures will rise to between 79 and 50.
